Anna Di Stasi is proud to present: Cao Guimarães: Wonders and Inventions, the artist’s first solo show in New York.

Coinciding with a retrospective of Guimarães’ award-winning films organized by The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 during Brazil Premiere!, the exhibition will include two videos and select photographs from his most recognized imagery: the Gambiarras and Campo Cego series.

First produced in the late 1990s, Guimarães’ Gambiarras depict the ingeniously improvised and often humorous ways in which São Paulo citizens rework their surroundings to exploit the functionality of objects beyond their original purposes. Makeshift in their construction, the Gambiarras reveal the inevitable effacement of temporary objects. Above all, they recall the old adage widely popular in Latin America that identifies necessity as the mother of invention.

Campo Cego (Blind Field) undermines our contemporary dependance on road signs and other cautionary elements responsible for public order and safety. Yet, like in a dream, Campo Cego (Blind Field) takes us on a road where undecipherable signs appear to have been permanently swallowed up by the distinct pigmentation of Brazil’s natural terroir. Barely noticeable along the roads, the remnants of the signage becomes both beautiful and futile surrendering their contemporaneity to nature and thus forsaking the specificity of their design.

Cao Guimarães’ films reflect in an exemplary manner the intense encounter and circulation between documentary and contemporary art. His feature-length films are strongly marked by photography, experimental and video installations. Internationally recognized as a master filmmaker, Guimaraes has won several awards including: the “Lady Harimaguada de Oro – Best film” at the 9thFestival Internacional de Cine de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with the film “Andarilho (Drifter)”; in 2007 the award of “Best Film” at the 11th Festival do Filme Documentário e Etnográfico / Brasil, with the film “Andarilho (Drifter)”; in 2007, he was awarded “Best Director” at Rio Internatinal Film Festival with the film “Andarilho (Drifter)” and the award of “Best Iberoamerican Documentary” at 22th Guadalajara International Film Festival, with the film “Acidente (Accident)”. In 2006, he received the award “ABDeC of Best Documentary” at Rio International Film Festival, with the film “Acidente (Accident)”.
